Import Tips
• Verify wire diameter and mesh count meets "finer than 36 wires/cm" via lab testing for classification
• Provide material certificates confirming stainless steel composition to avoid reclassification
• Ensure no square apertures; document hexagonal or other patterns to distinguish from 7314.14.50
